Demonstrable student achievement
Federal legislation requires that states assess students with criterion-referenced tests, assessments that measure mastery against state or national standards. Given the increasing importance of these assessments to federal, state, and local authorities, the results are an important measure of how students are faring in EdisonLearning schools. Each year, EdisonLearning closely analyzes the assessments within each school and across the entire network of school partnerships.
